DETECCION DE REMOLINOS A SOTAVENTO DE LA MONTAPA

Histories of the cases discussed here are being given very briefly.

They are persons known to me, and may feel hurt if many details, particularly the unpleasant ones, are revealed.

What is certain, in fact, absolutely certain is that no one escapes his karma.

I

have benefitted a lot in coming to the following conclusions.

1. Whatever is happening in this life can be traced to some extent from the horoscope of the past life.

2.

Some of the samskaras of this

life

are clearly traceable to the past life. It became so clear to me that I found Garud Parana to be accurate. Again, it being sensitive material, it is only being hinted at and not discussed in detail, though I could have done it. I found a more detailed and new meaning in use of the horoscope of the present birth. Now I feel that what we call the psychological understanding of a horoscope, particularly in the west, in the USA mainly, is a bluff, pure and simple.

3.

The meaning of exaltation and debilitation of certain lords of some houses and malefic aspects on retrograde benefits needs an in-depth understanding. I found it very illuminating. All that I want to stress here is that those who have their 5th, 10th and 3rd lords debilitated should improve their karma pal/em themselves.

1. Case of Shand Devi

This is an authentic case study being presented, though I am aware

Asiro/ogico/Poromefers in Books Karma & Rebirth in Hindu Astrology

a similar attempt having been made by my friend Uma Shankar Dube of Kanpur some years ago. I got the horoscope from Mr. K. S.

Rawat of the Rebirth Research Foundation in Ghaziabad near Delhi, who in his researches into rebirths from a non-astrological angle collected it and gave it to me. I did very detailed work on the horoscopes of both births in this case and came out with some very revealing links between both births. I had the horoscope of this birth because this woman, Shantidevi, used to take predictions from me.

More about it later.

The story begins with the city of Mathura the great pilgrimage associated with Lord Krishna where the great influence of tradition makes most of the citizens of that city good theists. They worship Lord Krishna of the famous Dwarakadheesh temple. In the beginning of the century the now famous temple at the birth place of Lord Krishna, known as the Krishnajanma Bhoomi temple, had not existed.

We have no details in this case except the horoscope and some events of the life of the woman whose horoscope is the starting point of my astrological investigation. I presented this case first before my students of the Bharatiya

vdya

Bhawan and later, in the USA twice. It was described as a very uplifting night when I presented in the temple of the Arsha Vidya Gurukulam at Pennsylvania in USA in November 1995.

The Background

Every horoscope, it is well known, should be analyzed against the personal and social background of the person concerned. We must remember, though we know no detail and, have only an accurate horoscope, that this woman was born in 1902 in the most conservative pilgrim town of Mathura. One can imagine that she had led her life as women did in that extremely conservative decade, with the British as the rulers of India then.

The first point that must be remembered is that in 1901 the female literacy, according to the Census Report of India, was 00.50 percent (half percent) and male literacy was 10 percent.

We were then a nation of illiterates, but the fine cultural and education men and women had through verbal tradition, made them wise and spiritual persons. They were sublime persons, totally

unwesternized, and totally orthodox in all matters. This woman must have been more so because of two additional reasons: first she was a woman and of that era, and she belonged to the pilgrim town of Mathura, which has been one of the most conservative and traditional cities of northern India always.

How and what must have been the aims of her life? They must have been only two, cooking in the kitchen and looking after her family. Those days, they were married very early. The Sharada Act passed by the English rulers in the thirties banning legally child marriages (not before the age of eighteen) did not exist. Though the Sharada Act has been on the statute book of India ever since, we still have, even now, many child marriages in the rural India.

One

may sumrise that this woman whom we know as Ludgi, must have got married. Then in accordance with the Hindu tradition, must have got married at the earliest. Her parents must have arranged a conservative marriage within her caste, whatever it may have been.

It can be seen, when we discuss the case astrologically, that she must have got married quite early. The vital information we have is that soon after her marriage she became a mother. What happened after that should first be seen astrologically.

Since it has been stated that she was a conservative woman of that era, she must have become pregnant at regular intervals of two or more year. During her pregnancies, she must have prayed to God for safe delivery of her babies and the safety of her own life.

Those were the days of colonial rule in which the British were never interested in providing dependable medical services as we have in India today when the mortality rate of pregnant mothers and children has been reduced spectacularly to the lowest now. But we must always keep in the mind that she lived in India of 1902, 1920 etc, when the infant mortality was the highest in India and pregnant women delivering babies, with the help of experienced oyahs (uncertified but experienced traditional nurses of those years), died if there was slight negligence. No antibiotics, no strong medicines for safe delivery of children were available.

Most important is to see that it was the period of Moon mahadasha and the antar dasha of Rahu aspected by Mars in the saptamsha. Then Rahu is placed in the 8th house from the Moon.
